MEGYN KELLY: “Well Tommy Jones, who you just saw in that last clip there and Mike Baxley you saw a little earlier in the clip. They both worked at UniMac, that’s the company they were talking about and they were featured as you saw in this movie ‘King of Bain.’ Gentlemen thank you both so much for being here. Let me start with you Tommy, since we saw you and your wife last. First of all when it wasn’t Newt Gingrich’s Super PAC that made the movie. They bought it from a filmmaker who was the one who found you. Were you told that this was about Bain Capital or Mitt Romney when you sat down with the filmmaker?”

TOMMY JONES: “No, ma’am. They just said it was a documentary about U.S. big corporations taking over small businesses in the U.S.”

MEGYN KELLY: “And they talk about, in the film about, how Bain Capital and Mitt Romney and what they did to your company, which made commercial washing machines, nearly tore your family apart. That’s one of the issues you take some real umbrage with. Why?”

TOMMY JONES: “Yeah, we weren’t even talking about Bain or Mitt Romney when we were discussing that. We were talking about me and my partner was going out on our own to start our own business, and that’s when it was getting stressful and everything.”

MEGYN KELLY: “So years later after Bain had sold the company after Mitt Romney had nothing to do with Bain you went out on your own to start a new business and you were talking about the fear of not having insurance, and that’s the clip that they played?”

TOMMY JONES: “Yes, ma’am.”

MEGYN KELLY: “Okay, and now your experience Tommy before I get to Mike at once, at UniMac your company, once Bain took over. Did you lose your job? Did you take a pay cut?”

TOMMY JONES: “No Ma’am. When Bain took over actually everybody at the company received raises when they took over. And I actually went through probably two promotions while they were, it was under Bain.”

MEGYN KELLY: “I got to go shortly but I want to ask you, I mean, how do you feel — when you saw this film and you saw the way this was portrayed, how did you feel, Tommy?”

TOMMY JONES: “It makes you very angry that you can do something and somebody else can turn it all the way around.”

MEGYN KELLY: “Mike?”

MIKE BAXLEY: “I agree, it’s very frustrating. We had no idea that this was going to be used for something like this. Political or non-political. But it hurts us, and that’s why we want to let the American people know that it’s something that they really shouldn’t be looking at as, when they make these decisions about Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.”
